While there was no doubt about the LA Lakers going deep in the 2019-20 NBA Playoffs, the team's dominance in the postseason has been staggering.

Before the playoffs, many expected teams like the LA Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks and not the Lakers to win it all this year. However, neither team even made the conference finals as the Lakers stamped their class over the competition.

With each passing game, the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis has only grown stronger, something that has catapulted them to the conversation for the greatest duo of all time.

Even though the LA Lakers were perhaps expected to reach the NBA Finals, the dominance exhibited by the team has been exhiliratingnevertheless.

While the Utah Jazz did not get past the first round of the NBA Playoffs, the seven-game series they were a part of was an absolute spectacle.

With Bojan Bogdanovic missing, Donovan Mitchell had several incredible offensive explosions against the opposition, and on three different occasions, he carried the team to a win.

While it is true that the franchise suffered a disappointing exit, the performances of their franchise player were out of this world and could be a sign of things to come for the Utah Jazz.
